HINDERING GOD'S WORK Gal 5:1-7 What is holding us back in the Lord's Work? Matt 12:30 Can be hindered in our running the race for the Lord Things that can and will hinder us in God’s work

HINDERING GOD'S WORK Gal 5:1-7 IGNORANCE OF GOD'S WORD Caused murder of Jesus Acts 2:22,23; 3:17 Causes disobedience Rom 10:13-17 Caused idol worship Acts 17:22,23 Caused destruction of God's people Hos 4:6 Brings about alienation from God Eph 4:17-19

HINDERING GOD'S WORK Gal 5:1-7 NOT BELIEVING GOD’S WORD Caused Israelites to be unable to enter Canaan Heb 3:18-19 Prevented Moses from leading into Canaan Num 20:12 Warned about unbelief Heb 3:12 Exhorted not to fall into unbelief Heb 4:11

HINDERING GOD'S WORK Gal 5:1-7 COMPROMISE GOD’S WORD Paul refused to compromise Acts 20:27; 2Cor 11:23-33 Peter didn't compromise Acts 2:22,23 Stephen would not compromise Acts 7:51 If we pervert or change Gospel we are accursed Gal 1:6-8

HINDERING GOD'S WORK Gal 5:1-7 UNFRIENDLINESS Be friendly to have friends Prov 18:24 Greet everyone Heb 13:24 Greet by name 3Jhn 1:14 Unfriendliness has probably hurt growth of as many congregations as any other one thing.

HINDERING GOD'S WORK Gal 5:1-7 POOR EXAMPLE In speech Jas 3:10-12; Ex 20:7; Rev 15:4; Acts 5:1-10 Manner of life Phil 1:27; Matt 5:13 - 16 None preach better than the Ant, and she says nothing at all - Franklin Example is more effective than precept - Samuel Johnson Jesus is our example 1Pet 2:21; Jhn 13:15

HINDERING GOD'S WORK Gal 5:1-7 Christ our example knew God’s will; his faith shown by obedience to God’s will; never compromised truth although tried many times; showed friendliness; never made an enemy because He was unfriendly, although He had enemies because He didn't compromise truth To help the cause of Christ follow His example If we don’t follow His word we will lose our own soul and cause someone else to lose theirs ARE YOU HINDERING GOD’S WORK Matt 12:30
